An eyewitness, Mr Orjiako Nnaluo , who spoke to journalists, said that the herdsmen stormed farm settlements known as Agweopia Camp, Iyiogbu Camp and Iyinkolo, respectively around 5:40am and started killing people, burning houses and raping many women.
He said that the farmers were trying to recover from a previous attack by the herdsmen, which he said claimed three lives. Speaking on the incident, the Anglican Bishop of Mbamili Diocese, the Rt. Rev. Henry Okechukwu Okeke condemned the killings by the attackers, describing it as unfortunate, obnoxious and inhuman.
“The Federal Government actually has to do something. They should summon the leaders of the herdsmen and the rest of them. I think with that this fire can be quenched now.
It’s time! This must be addressed with full resistance before further killing occurs. You can’t come to my land and chase me out
Testing the waters!
